Johnny Bull - Falklands War Song

[Intro]
Rule Britannia, Britannia rules the waves
Britons never never never shall be slaves!

Off the coast of Argentina, Our islands came to be
With eighteen hundred people, And a half a million sheep
The day they were invaded, everybody learned the name
A barren little colony had got a bit of fame!

[Chorus]
So We stocked our ships full of British beer and bullets
We mobilised the navy and we called up the marines
We sailed two weeks 'til we reached the Falkland Islands
So we could teach a lesson to those bloody Argentines!

Maggie Thatcher was awakened in the middle of the night
She heard the Argentinians were calling for a fight
She summoned up the Cabinet and met with the MP's
And sent the pride of Britain to the stormy Southern seas

[Chorus]
So We stocked our ships full of British beer and bullets
We mobilised the navy and we called up the marines
We sailed two weeks 'til we reached the Falkland Islands
So we could teach a lesson to those bloody Argentines!

Well, the whole world watched
As the British fleet drew near
And the battle for the Falklands is finally here
We sank their ships brought down their aeroplanes
And taught those cheeky Argies not to mess with us again!

[Chorus]
So We stocked our ships full of British beer and bullets
We mobilised the navy and we called up the marines
We sailed two weeks 'til we reached the Falkland Islands
So we could teach a lesson to those bloody Argentines!

All the local girls awaited when Britannia disembarked
He had a reputation and he liked to have a laugh
They covered him with kisses, they walked him in the grass
He said he never saw a better piece of British... Land

[Chorus]
So We stocked our ships full of British beer and bullets
We mobilised the navy and we called up the marines
We sailed two weeks 'til we reached the Falkland Islands
So we could teach a lesson to those bloody Argentines!
